After I read the first chapter, I could not put this down. Mary is a girl living in a little claustrophobic village. She wants to marry her best friend's fiance, she wants her mother to stop mourning her father, and perhaps most of all, she yearns to see the ocean. But Mary never, ever will, because the only thing keeping her alive is the fence around the village. Because the other side of the fence...are the ravening hordes of the undead.

A tale of exploration, of identity, secrets, of recognizing love and family. And, of course, zombies.
